How to Create Log-In Macros
The first step you want to take (of course I am already assuming that you have either
purchased iMacro or downloaded either the free trial or the freeware version) is to:
1. Open a new Internet Explorer browser.
2. Enter the website address of the BPO or REO company you want to create a log-in
macro for.
The example I will use will be to go to Landsafe/Bank of America’s website, which is: https://epass.landsafe.com/val/login
3. Go ahead and put in your log into information into the website before recording your
‘log-in’ macro.
4. Open the iMacros player by clicking on the icon that is located on the tool bar within
your browser so that is looks like the image below.

5. Select the “Rec” tab that is within the iMacro player. It is right next to the Play tab and is
sandwiched in between the Edit tab.
6. Next click on the “Record” button. You will now see that your recording has started
within the iMacros browser.
7. Now, with your mouse go ahead and click on the box that has your username and your
password. A blue box will appear around your username and your password (this means
that this information got recorded within your new macro)

8. Next click on anything that pops up that you want recorded in your ‘log in’ macro. Typically, I’d record everything up to the point of getting to the queue where all of the orders are. Go ahead and now click on the “Stop” button that is on the Rec tab.
9. You will see a temporary macro appear in the iMacros player window. The file is called #Current. You must save this macro by renaming it.
10. To save and rename your new macro click on the “Save” button within the Rec tab.

11. You new log in macro is ready to test out. Double click on the macro that you want to
run. You can also click on the play button within the “Play” tab.
12. Go ahead and create many more log-in macros. So that you can automate as many log-ins as you can.
As you see below, this is the code that is created when you record a log-in macro. Check out the
password part, if you would notice that the password is encrypted. When you record a log-in
macro using iMacros software, your password is always safe and always will be encrypted.
After showing you all of this, wouldn’t it be nice if we could get away with just having to walk
through life only having to memorize just one username and one password for everything? That
would be something else, would it?!?! Fortunately and unfortunately, we live in a time where
information is so powerful, that it can be used to help make our lives easier and at the same
time it can be used to complicate our lives to the point of having our individual trust in
computers, and the internet shattered forever.
I hope that you are able to stay on the somewhat
trusting but educated side of technology. Plus, I hope
you find my suggestions to be used as tools into how
to protect yourself and your information.
Thank you for indulging me for a moment!
